Needless to say, it is tough not to admire the mother of five for her determination and optimistic outlook for her family’s future.

One thing that definitely struck many viewers and avid fans of My 600-lb Life was the fact that instead of wallowing in self-pity and grief, Milla has started looking for a home-based job.

For a mother of five who just lost her beloved husband, her desire to provide for her children and take back her life from the overwhelming grief is extremely admirable.

Apart from this, Milla has also shared an intimate memorial that she and her children have done for her late husband. Featuring photos of the family and several memorabilia from the past years, Milla and her children’s memorial has received nothing but messages of admiration and respect from her supporters in the social media platform.
